Game 137 Thread: Sept 2 @ Braves, 4:30p

Chad Billingsley (10-10, 4.08) vs. Brandon Beachy (7-2, 3.31).

The Dodgers have won nine of ten and are smoking hot, but enter the tomahawk-chopping, pre-alignment house of horrors in Atlanta. The Braves lead the Wild Card by 8.5 games (over St Louis; the sorry Giants are 9.5 GB). And I would write more but I've got a barbecue grill to tend. Gotta run, people!

Hey, check us out stillplayng like a halfway decent baseball team!

Josh S. said...

The Baseball Gods balanced out that bad call from the Braves' 19-inning win.

(The Baseball Gods often mistake us for the Pirates.)

Kyle Baker said...

Can we sacrifice Mr. F to the baseball gods so maybe we'll finish .500?

Kyle Baker said...

A little Haiku from Mrs. Dusty (not necessarily re a play in this game):

There's a hit for Matt
Crack of the bat - RBI
MVP season

I disliked McCann more when he had those stupid math teachers glasses.

Well, that just happened.

Kyle Baker said...

"They did a double play together and it was so cute."

Delino can be my next badge.

#jokecontinuity

Kyle Baker said...

Yeah but 67 of those were useless insight from me, Sax.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

What the hell happened!?!? I checked out at 5-2 Bravos, damn I suck

Fernie V said...

Guys I think the badge thing is broken. I already got the matt cain 6 strikeout badge.

Steve Sax said...

PGT up! Includes extra vitamins, plus a shout-out to you guys who commented in this GT tonight!

Steve Sax said...

@Fernie V: yeah, the badge thing gives phantom badges or triggers early every once in a while. Think of it like getting an extra ball from the pinball machine.
